Stuttgart Airport has one of the best connected infrastructures in the state
of Baden-Württemberg. In the future, the
New Office Airport Stuttgart
building
complex will be the widely visible entrance to what is known as
the New Airport City. The main tenant is the accounting firm Ernst&Young.
Three interlocking round structures of varying heights form the 130 m
long, 100 m wide and 30 m high building. The main upper floor part of the
building is shaped like an infinity symbol and is supported by a rectangular
basement. From the start this
jump in geometry formed the main
challenge
of the whole project. Many load-bearing structural elements are
supported by enormous, partly pre-stressed girders with dimensions up
to 2 m by 21 m. As a result of the subsoil, the different levels of the base
plates, and the reaction forces, the building has three types of foundations:
auger pile foundation, surface foundation, and standard deep foundation.
The structure was entirely calculated using SCIA Engineer. This overall
analysis positively
influenced both the design and the performance
.
A detailed investigation of the forces caused by temperature change and
shrinkage meant that expansion joints could be spared. By identifying the
natural frequencies of the 3D calculation model it could also be shown that
the seismic forces are equal to the wind loads.
